New course: PSYC 391 Self-Modification for Personal Adjustment
SOCRATES, GREEK PHILSOPHER (469-399 B.C.)
“You can observe a lot by watching.”
YOGI BERRA, AMERCIAN BASEBALL PLAYER (1925--)
Are you interested in knowing thyself better? Observing?
Conducting research? Behavior analysis?
If so, this course is for you!
This section of PSYC 391, Self-Modification for Personal Adjustment, is designed to acquaint you with a general theory of behavior, to guide you through exercises for developing skills in self-analysis, and to provide you with concrete information on how to achieve the goals you hold for yourself. The vehicle for learning will be your own self-analysis, your own program for implementing your values. Throughout the course you will be required to accompany your reading with your own self-improvement project. There will be a consistent focus on collecting data about your own behavior and on evaluating those data. In a sense, your daily life will become the laboratory in which you will study and develop your own behavior.
